rtist Kellie Thomas-Walker began drawing at a very young age. Kellie was born in Ontario, California and raised in Northern California. The rich colors that decorated the countryside fueled Kellie’s deep love for nature and her passion for artistic elements. Raised by and artist/nurse mother, artistic elements were introduced at a young age. However, Kellie didn’t actively pursue art until the birth of her fourth daughter. Becoming a mother was the turning point for her art, it softened her and opened her up to seeing the world through many different possibilities. Art became her outlet, a form of therapy to mend and heal past pains. At a young age Kellie developed a deep faith with God going beyond the confines of expected norm, her faith inspires her work. Which each piece brings a deep sense of her soul’s journey and acts as an invitation to the viewer. After high school Kellie moved from Northern to Southern California. The sunshine and inviting waters of the Pacific serve as a playground for Kellie and her four daughters . She continues to work and exhibit locally as well as throughout the US.

I do not confine myself to one school of thought. Each piece has either symbolism or a story embedded within its layers. As is life. My work can range from severely detailed illustrations to soft modern figurative paintings; as well as abstraction of nature and life. My work embodies severe depth and engaging textures. I utilize brush work as well as pallet knives with acrylic paints and various glazes. My illustrations are formed through charcoal, graphites, and paint pens.

Born to an artist mother, I was introduced to painting and illustrations as a young child. Now, I continue that legacy with my four daughters. Born in Southern California. Raised in Northern California. My husband and I have lived in Long Beach, California for the past sixteen years.

I maintain a professional relationship with my collectors and curators. I encourage email contact but will accept phone inquires of the professional manner. Thank you for viewing my work.
